YOU WORRY HOW TO SING YOUR PART READ THIS 

Do you have trouble hearing or singing harmonies? Creating harmony with other human voices is great fun and can be a profound musical experience.

• Like most things in music, harmony singing is a skill that can be practiced and mastered.

• Before you can learn how to sing harmony, you need to be able to sing in tune. If you have trouble singing in tune, You can enroll in my online voice training academy.

Here are three effective ways to learn how to sing harmony:

1. Sing Along With The Harmonies Of Your Favorite Recordings

• This is how I taught myself to hear harmonies. I started by singing along with harmony lines that were already present in recordings. 

• To help myself lock into the harmony line, I would focus on the timbre of the singer’s voice. 

• If the melody and harmony were both sung by the same voice, I would focus on hearing the highest or lowest voice (depending on whether the harmony was above or below the melody).

• Once you feel confident and at ease singing along with harmonies, it’s time to try creating your own. Try harmonizing with all the vocals you listen to. 

• The car is the perfect place to work on this skill: it’s a great use of your time. What could be more fun then singing duets with your favorite artists?

2. Join A Choir

• You need to join the choir so that you can learn to sing harmony very well.

• Singing harmony in a group is a great way to learn because singers with stronger ears can help guide you. As your ear develops, you can lean on the other singers in your section less and less.

3. Apply Your Music Theory Knowledge

• If you are having trouble hearing a harmony, you can use your theory knowledge to map out a harmony line.

• For example, to find the first note of your harmony line, all you need is the first chord and the melody note. 

• Let’s say the first chord is an A Major chord (A-C♯-E) and the melody line starts on C♯. That gives you two choices of where to start your harmony line: A or E.

• Once you have a starting point, it’s much easier to find a pathway. You can even go through the song and give yourself anchor pitches on each chord change to help guide your ears.

• I hope these tips on how to sing harmony inspire you to practice! Harmony singing is a great skill to add to your musical bag of tricks.
